Early in the morning, students from Luxi Academy gathered in the small square, waiting lively to receive their new uniforms.

"Wow, Su Xiu! Why did the college suddenly give us such good clothes?" A student looked at the new college uniform in his hand. Both the workmanship and the fabric were obviously much better than before, and he was a little confused for a while.

Another student came over mysteriously: "Haven't you heard? His Majesty the Emperor is on a tour of the south and wants to visit our Luxi Academy!"

"Real or false?" Another person looked suspicious, "The newspaper said that His Majesty will patrol the Yellow River, but it didn't say that he would go to Jiangnan?"

"Is this a lie? These clothes were specially customized with money allocated by the Hangzhou government, just so that we can dress decently when the time comes to meet the emperor. Otherwise, how do you think the academy will get the money to make Su embroidery clothes for the students?"

"No wonder many craftsmen have come to repair the academy these days. It turned out to be for pick-up. Why didn't you hear the news before?"

"Nonsense! Can His Majesty's itinerary be revealed at will? It's great for ordinary students like us to receive the news now!"

At this time, the steward who handed out hospital uniforms in the front yelled: "What are the students in the back talking about? After receiving the clothes, leave quickly, don't block people's way here!"

Several people immediately fell silent, stopped discussing, and dispersed.

In the evening, Gu Yunji came to hand in homework to Xu Chengyu as usual. Thinking of the rumors he heard today, he asked: "Teacher, I heard that His Majesty is coming to our academy. Is it true?"

Xu Chengyu said calmly: "Where did you hear that?"

"Everyone is talking about it. I'm afraid it has spread throughout the academy by now."

"The news is pretty fast." Xu Chengyu took a sip of tea and said, "It's true."

His tone was calm, but Gu Yunji was not calm at all, and kept asking: "Are you really coming? Why didn't you hear any news before? Didn't you say you were just patrolling the river? Why did you suddenly go to Jiangnan and come to Luxi Academy?

"

Xu Chengyu clicked his tongue lightly and said, "Come as soon as you come. Why are you so excited?"

"Teacher, that's the emperor! The Lord of the Ninth Five Years! The monarch of our Great Xia Dynasty!" The emperor who had only been seen in TV series and novels is now really coming to him, and Gu Yunji is very likely to see it with his own eyes.

How could he not be excited about this?

Xu Chengyu looked disapproving: "So what, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

Regardless of Gu Yunji's expression as if he was choked, he continued: "As for why Your Majesty came to Luxi Academy, it's because he saw your article on river management and wanted to come and see you."

"Your Majesty...want to see me?" Gu Yunji was shocked by these words, "How could your Majesty see my article?"

"Because I submitted it."

"Why didn't I know!"

Xu Chengyu raised his hand to signal him to calm down, and then said: "I didn't expect you to win His Majesty's favor. When I saw that what you said was reasonable, I sent the article to Pan Shiliang, the person who manages the river, and Pan Shiliang submitted it again.

I gave it to His Majesty, so your article was seen."

"You can be remembered by His Majesty at such a young age, so just enjoy it secretly!"

Gu Yunji suddenly felt at a loss: "Do I need to prepare anything to meet the Holy Emperor? What should I say then? What if I say the wrong thing?"

Xu Chengyu said: "Relax and answer whatever comes to mind when the time comes. Just do as you please. Although His Majesty is young, he is very smart. If you recite some clichés and answer in advance, you will annoy him."

Hearing this, Gu Yunji had no choice but to stop thinking about preparations, but he couldn't help but be a little curious: "But the newspaper only said that His Majesty is going to patrol the river. Is the trip to Jiangnan a temporary move? But if the itinerary suddenly increases, it will be difficult to prepare food and accommodation. The court will

Your Excellencies also agree?"

"Of course I don't agree. It was such a noisy! I heard that several imperial censors jumped on the spot. Some said it was a waste of people's resources, and some said that they were too late to prepare for the extra time in the middle of the journey. They took turns to make excuses to stop them. Your Majesty was so angry that he had those few

Yu Shila went out and said that he would go south regardless of what he said, and if he really disagreed with him, he would pay a private visit incognito."

"How can these ministers be willing? We have to take a step back, reduce expenses, abolish the ceremonial guard, and let a small number of followers and ministers follow His Majesty southward."

Gu Yunji said: "Your Majesty has made up his mind and no one can change it. The reason why he did not say it in advance is probably because he was afraid that the ministers would not agree. Then he would not even be able to leave the palace gate, right? He only announced that he was going south halfway, and the ministers also

I can't stop it, it's so courageous."

Xu Chengyu shook his head and sighed: "You are still young——"

Before class the next day, the students gathered together to discuss the matter endlessly. Seeing Mr. Chen He walk in, someone boldly stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Chen, I heard that His Majesty is coming to our academy. Is it true?

?”

Chen He glanced at him and said directly without going around the bush: "Yes, if nothing else happens, it will probably be around mid-April."

The hall suddenly became excited, and the man asked in surprise: "Can we also pick up the driver then?"

"That should be the case. At least when His Majesty first arrives, the mountain chief will lead everyone in the academy to greet him at the mountain gate."

One student's eyes flashed: "If I have the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit, can I recommend myself and submit my article to His Majesty? If I can win His Majesty's favor, I will also think hard about what the imperial examination is for..."

Hearing this, Chen He looked stern, threw the book heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Confused! You are so easy to get close to His Majesty as the Emperor? You don't study hard, but you go out of your way to follow these heretical ways! I'm afraid you haven't done it yet!

When I walked in front of His Majesty, I was pierced by the spear of the imperial guard!"

"To put it another way, if you really submitted the article to His Majesty, so what? Could it be that Your Majesty would dismiss you because of an article you wrote? When the late Emperor was in power, a man who had failed many times tried to take the risk.

He took the risk and found a way to submit the article to the late emperor, hoping to be appreciated by the emperor. However, the late emperor reprimanded him for having evil intentions, dismissed him on the spot, and was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life!"

"His Majesty has only just ascended the throne, and it is even more difficult to figure out his temper. If you want to be punished by His Majesty, go ahead and try! I'm afraid that if you fail to recommend yourself, it will bring trouble to the entire academy!"

The students were so frightened by his words that they lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger. The student who said he wanted to recommend himself was trembling all over and did not dare to mention it again.

Chen He looked around with angry eyes and warned: "I advise you all to control your evil thoughts. Your Majesty's visit to the academy may seem like a good thing, but in fact it is very dangerous. One mistake can lead to the entire academy being punished.

, I don’t expect that we can be praised by His Majesty this time, as long as we can send His Majesty away smoothly in the end, we will be thankful to God."

After that, Chen He stopped talking and started teaching the students.

After that, the enthusiasm of everyone in the academy for the emperor's coming gradually faded away, and life returned to normal.
